In the related art, manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer is mainly characterized by coating an impressing adhesive on a metal thin film for impression and then etching to form a nano-level wire grid structure through multiple etching processes. However, the etched wire grid structure manufactured by the method has poor appearance uniformity, and is prone to collapse, thereby leading to a low degree of polarization and poor transmission of a metal wire grid polarizer.

In the related art, manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer includes the following steps. In step S1, a substrate 1 is provided. In step S2, a metallic aluminum layer 2 and a silicon dioxide layer 3 are sequentially deposited on the substrate 1. FIG. 1 is a diagram drawn after the completion of step S2 of the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the related art. In step S3, an impressing adhesive 4 is coated on the silicon dioxide layer 3. FIG. 2 is a diagram drawn after the completion of step S3 of the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the related art. In step S4, the impressing adhesive 4 is nanoimprinted to form an impressing adhesive pattern 4 a. FIG. 3 is a diagram drawn after the completion of step S4 of the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the related art. In step S5, the silicon dioxide layer 3 is etched by using the impressing adhesive pattern 4a as an etching mask to form a silicon dioxide pattern 3 a. FIG. 4 is a diagram drawn after the completion of step S5 of the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the related art. In step S6, the metallic aluminum layer 2 is etched by using the silicon dioxide pattern 3 a as an etching mask to form an intermediate pattern, which usually includes a metal wire grid structure 2 a and the silicon dioxide pattern 3 a left over on the metal wire grid structure 2 a. FIG. 5 is a diagram drawn after the completion of step S6 of the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the related art. In step S7, the intermediate pattern is etched to remove the silicon dioxide pattern 3 a left over on the metal wire grid structure 2 a, thus a metal wire grid polarizer is manufactured. FIG. 6 is a diagram drawn after the completion of step S7 of the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the related art.

It can be understood from the above-described processes that the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer is mainly characterized by coating the impressing adhesive 4 on the metallic aluminum layer 2 for impression and then etching to form the nano-level metal wire grid structure 2 a through multiple etching processes. However, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, it is easy to produce residues and cause non-uniform etching during the etching processes, thereby the metal wire grid structure 2 a formed by etching has poor verticality and uniformity. As shown in FIG. 6, it easily leads to a low degree of polarization and poor transmittance of the metal wire grid polarizer. Furthermore, the manufacturing method has a long manufacturing cycle, requires complicated processes to be performed, and provides low efficiency.

In order to solve the above-described technical problem, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer. The metal wire grid polarizer may be used in a display panel, which may be a liquid crystal display panel or an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display panel. As shown in FIG. 7, the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in this embodiment may include the following steps.

In step S100, a template having grooves is provided.

In step S102, a metal layer is formed in the grooves.

In step S104, the metal layer is moved to a substrate to fabricate a metal wire grid polarizer.

In the embodiment, the metal layer is first formed in the grooves of the template and then is moved to the substrate to fabricate the metal wire grid polarizer. Compared with the manufacturing method of coating the impressing adhesive on the metal film for impression and then etching to form the nano-level wire grid structure through multiple etching processes mentioned in the related art, this method reduces the number of etching processes, thus reducing the possibility of producing residues and causing non-uniform etching. It also guarantees the verticality and uniformity of the metal wire grid structure and alleviates the problem of a low degree of polarization and poor transmittance of the metal wire grid polarizer. The process yield of the metal wire grid polarizer is thus improved. In addition, this embodiment simplifies the manufacturing processes of the metal wire grid polarizer, thereby shortening the manufacturing time and improving the manufacturing efficiency.

The method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in the embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 12, in step S100, a template 10 having grooves 10 a is provided.

For example, the template 10 may be made of a silicon dioxide, a polyethylene, but it is not limited thereto. The template 10 has a plurality of spaced-apart grooves 10 a arranged on its surface. The grooves 10 a may be formed by hot pressing, but is not limited thereto. They may also be formed through an etching process.

As shown in FIGS. 7, 8, 14, and 15, in step S102, a metal layer 11 a is formed in the grooves 10 a, which may specifically include the following steps.

In step S1022, a metal thin film 11 is coated on the surface of the template 10 on which the grooves 10 a are provided.

In step S1024, the metal thin film 11 is impressed to form a metal wire grid structure. The metal wire grid structure includes the aforementioned metal layer 11 a formed in the grooves 10 a and a cladding layer 11 b integrated with the metal layer 11 a and covering the surface of the template 10.

In the embodiment, a portion of the metal thin film 11 is filled into the grooves 10 a by using an imprint technology to form the metal layer 11 a so that the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the metal layer 11 a can be reduced.

As shown in FIGS. 7, 9, and 16-19, in step S104, the metal layer 11 a is moved to a substrate 12 to manufacture a metal wire grid polarizer, which may specifically include the following steps.

In step S1042, the substrate 12 is provided to cover the cladding layer 11 b of the metal wire grid structure and the metal wire grid structure and the substrate 12 are bonded together.

In step S1044, the metal wire grid structure to which the substrate 12 is bonded is separated from the template 10.

In step S1046, the cladding layer 11 b on the substrate 12 is etched to expose a surface of the substrate 12 to fabricate a metal wire grid polarizer.

It can be understood from the foregoing that, in this embodiment, the metal thin film 11 is disposed on the template 10 having the grooves 10 a. The metal thin film 11 is impressed to form the metal wire grid structure. The substrate 12 is provided to cover the cladding layer 11 b of the metal wire grid structure and the metal wire grid structure is moved to the substrate 12. The metal wire grid structure moved to the substrate 12 is separated from the template 10. The cladding layer 11 b on the substrate 12 is etched to expose the surface of the substrate 12. Thus, the metal wire grid polarizer is manufactured.

It should be noted that the metal wire grid polarizer may be manufactured by using the foregoing embodiments. Alternatively, a metal material may be directly filled into grooves of a template by using a physical sputtering process to form a metal layer. Then, the metal layer is bonded to a substrate. Finally, the metal layer bonded to the substrate is separated from the template, that is, the metal layer is moved to the substrate. Thus, a metal wire grid polarizer is fabricated.

For example, as mentioned above, in step S1022, the metal thin film 11 is coated on the surface of the template 10 on which the grooves 10 a are provided. The metal thin film 11 may have a thickness ranging from several hundred nanometers to several micrometers, but it is not limited thereto. In addition, the metal thin film 11 may include metallic aluminum or metallic silver. Namely, the aforementioned metal layer 11 a and the cladding layer 11 b may include metallic aluminum or metallic silver, but it is not limited thereto. They may include other metal materials, such as a gold material or a nickel material having excellent ductility.

The metal thin film 11 in the embodiment is made of a metal material having good ductility, which may prevent the metal thin film 11 from being broken during the subsequent impression, thereby guaranteeing the integrity of the metal thin film 11.

As shown in FIG. 10, step S1022 may specifically include the following steps.

In step S10222, a release layer 13 is deposited on the surface of the template 10 on which the grooves 10 a are provided, as shown in FIG. 13.

In step S10224, the metal thin film 11 is coated on the release layer 13, as shown in FIG. 14.

In the embodiment, the release layer 13 is firstly deposited on the surface of the template 10 on which the grooves 10 a are provided and then the metal thin film 11 is coated on the release film 13, which may alleviate the adhesion of the metal thin film 11 to the template 10 during the subsequent embossing, making it convenient for subsequent demolding.

For example, a material of the release layer 13 may include a metal material or a fluorine-containing organic compound. Namely, the release layer 13 may be made of a metal material or a fluorine-containing organic compound, which is not limited thereto. It may also be made of other anti-adhesive materials. It should be noted that the metal material may be metallic silver, but it is not limited thereto.

In addition, in order to alleviate the adhesion of the metal thin film 11 to the template 10 in the subsequent impression, the template 10 may be directly made of an anti-adhesive material, so that the step of depositing the release layer 13 on the template 10 can be omitted. Thus, the manufacturing processes of the metal wire grid polarizer are further simplified, the manufacturing time is shortened and the manufacturing efficiency is improved.

In step S1024, the metal thin film 11 is impressed to form a metal wire grid structure. The metal wire grid structure includes the aforementioned metal layer 11 a formed in the grooves 10 a and a cladding layer 11 b integrated with the metal layer 11 a and covering the surface of the template 10.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, the metal thin film 11 may be pressed by the impressing device 15, and may be brought into a molten state by the impressing device 15 when it is pressed by the impressing device 15. Thus, the metal thin film 11 can flow into the grooves 10 a due to its fluidity so as to form the metal layer 11 a amid the pressing of the impressing device 15. In addition, after the pressing process, a cladding layer 11 b of a certain thickness will remain to cover the surface of the template 10, as shown in FIG. 15. It should be noted that the metal layer 11 a and the cladding layer 11 b are formed into an integrated structure, which may be referred to as a metal wire grid structure.

For example, the impressing device 15 may be a laser. A laser beam emitted from the laser may bring the metal thin film 11 into a molten state, so that the metal thin film 11 flows into the grooves 10 a to form the metal layer 11 a.

In the embodiment, time taken for melting the metal thin film 11 may be shortened by using the laser as the impressing device 15, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency.

As shown in FIG. 11, step S1024 may include the following steps.

In step S10242, an impact-resistance layer 14 is coated on a surface of the metal thin film 11, as shown in FIG. 14.

In step S10244, the impact-resistance layer 14 and the metal thin film 11 are impressed by the impressing device 15, so that the metal thin film 11 is formed into a metal wire grid structure, as shown in FIG. 15.

In the embodiment, the impact-resistance layer 14 is first coated on the surface of the metal thin film 11 and then the impact-resistance layer 14 and the metal thin film 11 are sequentially impressed by the impressing device 15 so that the metal thin film 11 is formed into a metal wire grid structure. This may avoid the situation where the metal thin film 11 is directly impressed by the impressing device 15 to deteriorate the characteristics of the metal thin film 11, thereby improving the process yield of the metal wire grid structure. The impact-resistance layer 14 is removed by conventional lift-off processes after the impressing is completed.

For example, a material of the impact-resistance layer 14 may include graphite. That is to say, the impact-resistance layer 14 may be made of graphite, which is, however, not limited thereto. It may also be made of other impact-resistance materials.

In step S1042, the substrate 12 is provided to cover the cladding layer 11 b of the metal wire grid structure and the metal wire grid structure and the substrate 12 are bonded together, as shown in FIG. 17.

The substrate 12 may be a silicon wafer or glass, which is, however, not limited thereto. It also may be made of other materials.

For example, the substrate 12 may be first coated on the cladding layer 11 b and then the metal wire grid structure is moved to the substrate 12 by a bonding technology. Thus, the bonding stability of the metal wire grid structure and the substrate 12 may be improved, which is convenient for the whole demolding. The metal wire grid structure may be moved to the substrate 12 by using a bonding technology such as eutectic bonding, electrostatic bonding, or direct bonding.

It should be noted that the metal wire grid structure and the substrate 12 may be bonded together not only by the bonding technology, but also by an adhesion technique according to specific situations.

In step S1044, the metal wire grid structure to which the substrate 12 is bonded is separated from the template 10. Namely, the demolding process of the metal wire grid structure and the substrate 12 is completed. At this time, the resulted structure may be referred to as an intermediate structure, which includes the substrate 12 and the metal wire grid structure formed on the substrate 12, as shown in FIG. 18.

In step S1046, the metal wire grid structure is etched to etch away the cladding layer 11 b between the adjacent metal layers 11 a and expose the surface of the substrate 12, thus the metal wire grid polarizer is fabricated, as shown in FIG. 19.

For example, the metal wire grid structure is etched by using a dry etching technique to etch away a portion of the cladding layer 11 b between the adjacent metal layers 11 a and then exposure the surface of the substrate 12 corresponding to that portion. Thus, the metal wire grid polarizer is fabricated.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, before coating the substrate 12 on the cladding layer 11b, the method further includes the following steps.

In step S1041, the cladding layer 11 b is thinned so that the cladding layer 11 b will have a target thickness, as shown in FIG. 16. Thus, it is guaranteed that the thickness of the metal wire grid structure meets the requirements. The cladding layer 11 b may be thinned by a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technology, or other approaches such as dry polishing or electrochemical etching. In addition, the thickness uniformity of the cladding layer 11 b may be guaranteed by thinning the cladding layer 11 b, so that over-etching or incomplete etching during the subsequent etching of the cladding layer 11 b may be avoided, thus improving the process yield of the metal wire grid polarizer.

Optionally, the aforementioned target thickness is less than 30 nm, which may reduce the difficulty of subsequent etching and improve the etching uniformity.

In addition, an embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display panel including the metal wire grid polarizer manufactured by employing the method for manufacturing a metal wire grid polarizer in any of the above-described embodiments. The display panel may be a liquid crystal display panel or an OLED display panel. The display panel may be used in displays, such as mobile phones and computers.
